Customer Reviews
Best Sql Podcast!
I'm a software developer who spends a lot of time dealing with databases, integrating data, and optimizing data retrieval. I really enjoy Carlos humbleness and the experience that he and his partner, Steve, bring along with their great list of guests. Some stuff is over my head but other things are very useful in helping me wrap my head around topics that I don't have to manage directly yet am directly affected as a developer trying to provide the perfect balance between user experience and performance.
Truly great!
An excellent technical podcast for IT/Dev folks in/around SQL Server. The guests are top-notch and the host is both sharp and humble. Keep up the awesome work Carlos!
Fantastic SQL Server Tips, Tricks and Skills
Fantastic podcast for DBA's, developers and technical managers. Carlos always has an exciting topic and quite often he brings in an expert in a specific area to really provide great content. Check out the PowerBI episode, great fun and very informative
